About this tool
The word count is based on groups of characters separated by spaces or line breaks, so it also works for Hindi and other languages that put spaces between words. Sentences are counted by the full stops, question marks and exclamation marks in your text. Your text stays in your browser and is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How does the word counter count words?
It splits your text wherever there is a space, tab or line break, and counts each group of characters as one word.
Does it count characters with spaces?
Yes. It shows both the total characters (including spaces) and the characters without spaces, so you can match whichever limit you are working with.
Does it work for Hindi text?
Yes, as long as words are separated by spaces. Character counts work for any language.
Is my text saved or sent anywhere?
No. Everything is calculated in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.
